block.
ATTRIBUTE
Text prompt displayed in the Annotation Presets dialog box.PROMPT
The default value for the attribute if annotation presets are listed on page
708 or applied on page 706. This value can be a text value or an AutoLISP
expression that returns a text value.

How Annotation Presets work
1 Make a selection from the Circuit Selection dialog box, for example
"Horizontal - FVNR - non reversing". This selection has a value in the
ANNO_CODE cell, "ANNO_3M".
2 Circuit Builder finds the group of entries that match up with code
"ANNO_3M" in the ANNO_CODE sheet of ace_circuit_builder.xls.
3 If any matching entries are found, the Special Annotation: Presets section
of the Circuit Selection dialog box, is enabled.
4 If you select Presets and click the Presets List button, the Annotation
Presets dialog box displays. The rows displaying the entries with non-blank
DEFAULT values are initially marked as Selected.
5 Edit the attribute values as necessary and click OK.
6 Select to Insert or Configure the circuit.
7 Circuit Builder processes each marker block on the circuit template. If
the CODE value matches the CODE value from the ANNO_CODE rows,
the attribute values marked as Selected in the Annotation Presets dialog
box are applied to the target attributes of the inserted component. If a
target attribute is not found, the value is inserted as an Xdata value.
Circuit Builder drawing templates
Each circuit starts with a main drawing template. These main circuit template
drawings are named “ace_cb1*.dwg”. Branching or nested circuit drawing
templates are named “ace_cb2*.dwg”. A branching circuit is a circuit inserted
as an option on to the main circuit, for example a control transformer circuit
or a power factor correction circuit.
